Hello, community.
Here I present to you Mountain Rescue: Kings of Highs (*cough* first alpha build *cough*).
Mountain Rescue: KOH - Download and play the beta
This is the second serious game I'm trying to develop, the idea is to create a 2D Metroidvania, mountaineering, precision platforming thing. I want to focus on exploration, orienteering, and map reading skills, so I designed the game to be a little more grounded than other Metroidvania-style games because of this the game can be pretty slow at times but I think it suits the atmosphere just fine.
This is also my very first attempt at in-depth storytelling in a videogame, I'm no stranger to writing, I've written very short stories before but interactive storytelling is a completely different beast so I would really like your thoughts on that front, admittedly right now is all very minor setting and not much else but still I would love to hear your opinions. Finally, please take into consideration that a lot of the things in the game are placeholders. I'll replace all with unique and more tonally fitting stuff in the future but for now and as a way to gather feedback I hope is enough.
